friendly staff & charming facilities

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Kismet Cave House. This is a charming historic stone property. Every corner feels special, it is beautifully decorated with antique furniture, handwoven carpets, and unique ceramic pieces. The carvings in the stone walls and the hand-painted details by local artists give the place a special touch. It’s cozy, full of character, and truly one of a kind. My room was very clean and comfortable.  Breakfast was great: delicious, varied, and served in a bright, spacious room with a large terrace. The breakfast area is at the family’s neighboring hotel, which also has a rooftop terrace. It was the perfect spot to watch the magical hot-air balloons float across the morning sky. The staff were simply amazing – warm, attentive, and genuinely eager to help me make the best of my trip. They shared fantastic tips on what to see and do, making sure I got the most out of my time in Cappadocia. This was Turkish hospitality at its finest, and without a doubt, one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had.

Very nice place to stay. Friendly staff.

I spent a long time reading reviews when trying do decide where to stay in Cappadocia, and ended up choosing Kismet house because many people had commented about the kindness, helpfulness, and friendliness of the family who runs it. It's hard to state how big a difference that made for me on my trip. They truly welcomed me like a family member, even inviting me to a special dinner (they normally only serve breakfast) in the dining room upstairs. My room (Cave room, 104) was exceptionally comfortable and clean, and surprisingly big and had both a jacuzzi bathtub and a huge shower (and heated floors?!?!). The location is excellent, right downtown, a short walk down a side street so it's very central, but also very quiet. The rooftop has many terraces with incredible views, especially good for watching the balloons fly directly overhead at sunrise. The breakfast (served daily) was a huge treat, everything was abundant and beyond delicious and many of the items (jams, dried fruits, yogurt...) were either home made or sourced from the family's farm (they even gave me fresh milk from their cow, which was incredible). Yusuf (a son) was happy to book my tours (Red & Green) and made everything very easy. Faruq (the father, apologies if I'm spelling the names wrong) was incredibly kind and generous and knowledgeable. I will never forget my stay at Kismet Cave House/Mansion, nor the family who made my visit perfect and unforgettable.

Amazing stay! Sahin was amazing before the stay in booking airport transfers. Helped with making booking for tours and balloon ride! Their father, Farrokh was also hospitable with the guests. The breakfast was one of the best I've had, with fresh fruits and produces from around the area. Highly recommended stay for Cappadocia in the Göreme area! Cannot recommend enough and can't wait to be back!

This an family around establish that is authentic and very special7

The staff is super friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the cave experience

Great location, clean and comfortable rooms and great breakfast (grown in their own farm and locally outsourced). What really sets this hotel apart though is the incredible hospitality by each member of this family team. We were blown away by their kindness and authenticity and would stay here again in a heartbeat. (Be sure to try the cake at breakfast!)

Finding this hotel was truly kismet. From the hotel to the town, everything was phenomenal! It was a beautiful, family run hotel, and I felt welcomed from the moment I entered. Breakfast was prepared fresh each morning from fruits and vegetables from Mr. Faruk’s garden. The jams were also homemade and delicious! The hotel staff was great and helped me to fill my trip with activities I was interested in that have become memorable experiences I will treasure. During my stay I was traveling alone and the hotel staff introduced me to many of the guests and helped foster communication. Coffee and tea was always offered with a smile to all guests conversing throughout the hotel. The terrace area was beautiful and offered views of the hot air balloons, while the lobby was perfectly designed to gather guests in a comfortable sitting area. Mr. Faruk and his sons offered many suggestions of places to go and things to see while helping you thoroughly plan each experience and set up tours for you. This hotel was truly a family run business, and it was evident my entire 5 day stay that they take pride in offering guests the best experience possible. I will definitely be back, next time with family and friends!

Good location, friendly staff who is always helpful, nice breakfast and environment. We had a good stay
